Radiant energy is also called electromagnetic energy.
Radiant energy is the movement of photons. All life on earth
is dependent on radiant energy from the sun. Examples of
radiant energy include radio waves (AM, FM, TV),
microwaves, X-rays, and plant growth. Active solar energy
uses photovoltaic panels and light to turn radiant energy into
chemical energy.
Forms of
Energy
Chemical energy is the energy
stored in the bonds of atoms and
molecules. This a form of
potential energy until the bonds
are broken. Fossil fuels and
biomass store chemical energy.
Products that contain chemical
energy include: TNT, baking soda,
and a match. Biomass, petroleum,
natural gas, propane and coal are
examples of stored chemical
energy.

Electrical energy is the
movement of elections.
Lightning and static
electricity are examples of
electrical energy that occur
naturally. Science hasn't
found a way to use natural
forms of electrical energy,
like lightning. Instead, we
use different energy sources
to create electrical energy by
using generators and
turbines.
Forms of
Energy
Nuclear energy is the
energy stored in the nucleus
of an atom. Nuclear energy
is unusual in that it can give
off energy in the form of
light or heat, but it is the
change in the atom's
makeup that produces the
energy. Submarines, power
plants, and smoke detectors
all use nuclear energy.
Nuclear power plants use
uranium, a radioactive
element, to create
electricity.
Forms of
Energy
Thermal energy is the internal
energy in substances-the
vibration and movement of
atoms and molecules within
substance. Thermal energy is
created in the movement of
atoms. Boiling water, burning
wood, and rubbing your hands
together really fast are all
examples of heat energy.
Geothermal and passive solar
are sources of heat energy, but
biomass (a type of chemical
energy) can be burned to
produce heat energy.
Forms of
Energy
Sound energy is the
movement molecules in the
air that produces vibrations.
Alarms, music, speech,
ultrasound medical
equipment all use sound
energy. VCR tapes change
sound energy into electrical
energy. The electrical energy
records the sound using
magnetic tape. Speakers read
the magnetic tape and change
it back into sound.
Forms of
Energy
Mechanical energy is the
movement of machine parts.
Mechanical energy is also the
total amount of kinetic and
potential energy in a system.
Wind-up toys, grandfather
clocks, and pogo sticks are
examples of mechanical energy.
Wind power uses mechanical
energy to help create
electricity.

Potential energy + Kinetic energy = Mechanical energy

pendulum.

Energy
Magnetic energy is the
attraction of objects made of
iron. Medical equipment,
compass, refrigerator
magnets are all examples of
magnetic energy. Any type of
energy source that uses a
generator in the process to
make electricity uses
magnetic energy.
Forms of
Energy
Kinetic energy exists whenever an object which has mass
is in motion with some velocity. Everything you see
moving about has kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of an
object in this case is given by the relation:
KE = (1/2)mv2
m=mass of the object
V=velocity of the object
The greater the mass or velocity of a moving object, the
more kinetic energy it has.

Potential energy exists whenever an object which has mass
has a position within a force field. The most everyday
example of this is the position of objects in the earth's
gravitational field. The potential energy of an object in this
case is given by the relation:
PE = mgh
PE = Energy (in Joules)
m = mass (in kilograms)
g = gravitational acceleration of the earth (9.8 m/sec2)
h = height above earth's surface (in meters)

Law of Conservation of Energy- Energy can
neither be created nor destroyed. Energy is
always changing from one kind to another.
The total energy of an object never changes.
Potential energy + Kinetic energy = Total
energy and Total energy – Kinetic energy =
Potential energy and Total energy - Potential
energy = Kinetic energy

Work is the transfer of energy through motion. In
order for work to take place, a force must be exerted
through a distance. The amount of work done
depends on two things: the amount of force exerted
and the distance over which the force is applied.
There are two factors to keep in mind when
deciding when work is being done: something has to
move and the motion must be in the direction of the
applied force. Work can be calculated by using the
following formula: Work=force x distance

books when they are
being lifted, but no
work is done on
them when they are
being held or
